Outdoor lover. Lecturer and scientist at the University of Kent (and a bit of an engineer, as well!). Rower. Runner. Road cyclist. A bit of a geeky nerd, too. All opinions my own.
Years months of practice fitting my groceries inside my bike bags come handy. (it is quite rare to me to actually need to hang plastic bags from the handlebars! š
But I still can’t buy beer… the bags were filled up to the brim! š
Hello there, and welcome to my personal web page/blog!
My name is Manuel Marques, and Iām a lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent (United Kingdom). I am also a researcher in the Applied Optics Group at the same institution. My work lies mostly in the area of Applied Optics, namely white light interferometry and its two/three-dimensional variant, optical coherence tomography.
Outside work I'm a keen runner/sculler/rower/cyclist, and I do enjoy being in the outdoors (photographing them is a bonus, too!). Other hobbies include tinkering with things, both big and small (not always with a positive outcome, I must say), travelling, reading, in no specific order.
